I love a good crockpot recipe. This one is adapted from a cookbook called 365 Ways to Cook Chicken. It was originally done in the oven, but the crockpot is often more convenient. By changing just one ingredient I was able to turn it into a crockpot recipe. (Check out 6 Tips to Convert Recipes for Use in the Crockpot.) Now it only has 3 ingredients, plus salt and pepper and prep time is less than 5 minutes. How can you beat that?
Here’s what you’ll need:
whole chicken, cut up (or the equivalent in chicken pieces)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Mix the honey, mustard, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Put the chicken in the crockpot and pour the mixture over the top. Cook on high for 6-8 hours.
I served this with Yukon Gold new potatoes from our garden. I boiled them, buttered them and sprinkled them with kosher salt and fresh parsley. It was fun to dig up the potatoes with the kids.

That looks delish! Visiting over from SITS. You were above me on the roll call.
Sounds so easy- looks so good. I love crock pot recipes, so this one I’ll be trying for sure!
Yum! This is a terrific chicken recipe and the veggies look like they turned out perfectly cooked.
I don’t know why but I haven’t been seeing your new posts listed on my blog. :0( I followed you again so hopefully that will work.
Hope you are having a good summer!
This sounds great…actually all of the related recipes sound really tasty (esp. the garlic one!!!)
I’ll definitely have to try this! It sounds yummy and easy to make… can’t beat that!
Hello fellow SITSTA. I made this today–thanks so much for posting it! (I used to make this years ago in the oven, had not made it for years, and never in a crockpot!) It turned out great in the crockpot today, and even my picky son loved it. (I had to use regular mustard because I didn’t have any Dijon. But it was still really good.)
Thanks again!
I’m probably the last person on earth without a crock pot, could you post the original oven version?
Chelle, the recipe for making it in the oven called for butter as well as the other ingredients. Use 1/2 cup melted butter mixed with the honey and dijon mustard. Bake the chicken for about 1 hour at 350 degrees, basting it every 15 minutes with the sauce. I don’t always do that much basting though.
Yum! I’m adding this, along with the veggie pie, to next week’s menu. Many thanks!
The new site looks great!

This looks really good. I love crockpot recipes. I am adding this one to my menu this week.
Thanks.
I just made this dish tonight and it was delish! I got a “thumbs up” from my husband and son.
Also, I’d like to give you a great big THANKS for putting this blog together. I am a busy full time college student/2nd grade teacher, and wife and mother, which means I don’t have much time to think about what to cook or what to buy. This website has been such a blessing to my family.
Keep up the great work! I’m a huge fan.
Do you think this would work well if I threw the chicken in the crock still frozen, or would it not absorb the sauce as well?
We woke up to an unexpected hot and HUMID day ahead and I’d love to be able to throw something in the crock for dinner, except that I don’t have anything thawed out.
Cathy, I use frozen chicken a lot when I’m in a hurry.
Great! Thanks so much!
Wow this looks great! My BF and I have been looking for more yummy meals for the crock pot so we dont have to run the oven, and this one looks great!
